501 PM EDT FRI OCT 27 2006

...GUSTY WINDS POSSIBLE TONIGHT...

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...HIGH PRESSURE WEDGE
HAS BEEN SLOWLY ERODING ACROSS SRN SC THIS AFTERNOON...EVIDENT IN
CONTINUED PRESSURE FALLS AND GRADUAL VEERING OF SFC WINDS. WARM
FRONTAL BOUNDARY SHOULD PUSH N OF THE CWFA SOME TIME THIS LATE
EVENING...WITH A STRONG COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE W. ALL
SHORT-RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW A VICIOUS LLVL JET DEVELOPING
THIS EVE S OF THE AREA AND EXTENDING TO THE N OVERNIGHT. 850 MB
WINDS IN EXCESS OF 60 KT ARE FCST BY 06Z. ADDITIONALLY...GOOD
UPPER DIVERGENCE IN THE RT REAR QUAD OF A 130 KT H25 JET
STREAK...POTENT H5 SHORTWAVE ENERGY AND INCREASING LLVL THETA-E
ADVECTION POINT TO A CONSIDERABLE RAIN EVENT WITH THIS FRONTAL
BOUNDARY. DUE TO VERY LITTLE INSTABILITY AND MARGINAL LAPSE
RATES...IT APPEARS LIGHTNING WILL BE SCARCE WITH THIS ACTIVITY.
HOWEVER...AN INTENSE...THIN BAND OF HEAVY SHOWERS WITH ISOLATED
STORMS IS EXPECTED TO FORM ALONG THE COLD FRONT AS IT PUSHES E
TONIGHT. WITH SUCH STRONG LLVL WINDS...THIS ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY
DUCT SOME STRONG WINDS TO THE SFC. SEE OTHER SECTIONS OF AFD FOR
DETAILS ON WINDS. WILL CONTINUE WITH THE SPS ADDRESSING GUSTY
WINDS IN STORMS TONIGHT.

WITH THE WARM FRONT DRIFTING WILL CONTINUE WITH CATEGORICAL POPS
OVERNIGHT...THEN A SHARP CUTOFF AFTER 12Z SAT. HAVE ALL POPS OVER
LAND GONE BY 15Z WITH ONLY SLIGHT CHC FAR OUTER WATERS UNTIL 19Z.
TEMPS TONIGHT WILL LIKELY FOLLOW A SLOW RISING TREND DUE TO WARM
ADVECTION S OF AN ADVANCING WARM FRONT. HAVE DONE HOURLY TEMPS BY
HAND TONIGHT AND SATURDAY AND WILL MENTION RISING TEMPS IN ZONES
OVERNIGHT. ONLY SMALL WARMING TREND EXPECTED SAT BEHIND THE FRONT
AS WEAK CAA AND STRONG INSOLATION BATTLE IT OUT.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...ONLY NEEDED MINOR CHANGES TO
EXTENDED TODAY. ZONAL FLOW ALOFT TRANSITIONS TO LOW-AMPLITUDE
RIDGING THROUGH WED BEFORE ANOTHER TROUGH MOVES IN FROM THE W.
COULD SEE A FRONTAL SYSTEM MOVE THROUGH ON THU...HOWEVER AM NOT
CONFIDENT ENOUGH ATTM TO INTRODUCE A POP. A WARMING TREND IS
EXPECTED THROUGH WED...WITH TEMPS PERHAPS APPROACHING 80 ON WED.
COOLER TEMPS EXPECTED THU DUE TO ADDED CLOUDINESS WITH ANOTHER
COOLDOWN BEHIND THE FRONT ON FRI.

&&

.AVIATION...VERY MESSY FORECAST FOR THE TERMS DURING THE NEXT 12
HRS. POWERFUL UPPER LOW APPROACHING FROM THE W WILL PRODUCE
SCREAMING 65 KT LOW-LEVEL JET ACROSS THE AREA BEGINNING THIS EVE.
WEDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE IN PLACE OFF THE MID-ATLANTIC
COAST...KEEPING A COOL...STABLE AIRMASS IN PLACE ACROSS MUCH OF
SC. PRES FALLS...VEERING WINDS...AS WELL AS RECENT DROP TO IFR
CIGS/VSBYS AT CHS TERMINAL INDICATE THE WARM FRONT IS KNOCKING ON
OUR DOOR. THESE CONDITIONS SHOULD NOT PERSIST FOR MORE THAN A FEW
HRS...SINCE THE WARM FRONT IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE DRIFTING
NORTHWARD AS LLVL SLY WINDS INCREASE AND A DEEPER MIXED LAYER
INTRUDES. ISENTROPIC PRECIP WILL CONTINUE TO TAPER OFF AROUND CHS.
LATE THIS EVE AND OVERNIGHT...CONVECTIVE SHOWERS SHOULD BECOME
MORE WIDESPREAD AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. A STRONG TO
SEVERE FRONTAL BAND IS EXPECTED TO TRAVERSE THE AREA DURING THE
EARLY MORNING HOURS ON SAT. THE PRIMARY THREAT WITH THIS WILL BE
GUSTY WINDS...AS WE DO NOT SEE ANY MAJOR VSBY/CIG RESTRICTIONS
OUTSIDE OF CONVECTION.

VERY WINDY CONDITIONS EXPECTED OVERNIGHT...ESPECIALLY IN THE
CONVECTIVE CELLS THAT MOVE THROUGH. HAVE CONTINUED TO CARRY STRONG
WINDS IN BOTH TAFS...ESPECIALLY IN GUSTS. HAVE ALSO BEGUN LLWS AT
BOTH SITES AT 02Z. THE LLVL JET IS EXPECTED TO REALLY RAMP UP BY
THEN...ENOUGH TO PRODUCE GREATER THAN A 20 KT DIFFERENTIAL BETWEEN
SFC AND 2 KFT. FROPA EXPECTED BETWEEN 10 AND 12Z SAT...BUT CAA IN
THE LEE SHOULD CONTINUE TO ALLOW FOR SOME GUSTY WINDS THROUGH SAT.

&&

.MARINE...WINDS AND SEAS ARE SLOWLY BUT STEADILY INCREASING ACROSS
THE MARINE COMMUNITY LATE THIS AFTN...AND WE ARE NOW INTO THE SCA
RANGE ACROSS ALL WATERS EXCEPT THE HARBOR. CONDITIONS WILL ONLY
FURTHER DETERIORATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY SAT...AND BASED ON VERTICAL
WIND PROFILES AND 1000 MB GEOSTROPHIC WINDS UP TO 40 OR EVEN 45
KT...WE HAVE A GALE WARNING IN EFFECT FOR ALL WATERS TONIGHT /EXCEPT
SCA INITIALLY IN CHS HARBOR/.

WILL NEED TO KEEP A CLOSE WATCH FOR POSSIBLE STORM WARNING...ESP ON
THE OUTER GA WATERS DURING THE PERIOD FROM ABOUT 02Z-10Z TONIGHT...AS
WIND GUSTS COULD APPROACH 50 KT OR HIGHER. SEAS ACROSS THE ENTIRE
AREA WILL PEAK DURING THIS TIME FRAME...AND HAVE RAISED SEAS ABOUT
1-2 FT FROM THE EARLIER FCST.

IMPROVEMENT WILL BE SLOW ON SAT BEHIND THE COLD FRONT...BUT WITH THE
OFFSHORE FETCH SEAS WILL COME DOWN...WITH LOWER VALUES NEAR THE
COAST. FOR THE SAKE OF BREVITY IN THE CWF I HAVE NOT MADE THIS
DISTINCTION...BUT OBVIOUSLY LOWER VALUES WILL OCCUR CLOSER TO THE
COAST THAN FURTHER OUT.

ONCE THE GALES EXPIRE LATE TONIGHT/EARLY SAT WE WILL TRANSITION TO
SCA/S...WHICH WILL CONTINUE THRU MUCH OF SAT OR EVEN INTO SAT NIGHT
ACROSS PARTS OF THE AREA.

CONDITIONS WILL SEE VAST IMPROVEMENT SAT NIGHT...SUN AND SUN NIGHT
AS STRONG LOW PRES IN THE NE WILL HAVE GIVEN WAY TO HIGH PRES FROM
THE W.

ONSHORE FLOW TO RETURN MON THRU WED AS HIGH PRES SHIFTS INTO THE
ATLC.

&&

.HIGH SURF...GIVEN THE HIGHLY FAVORABLE S-SW FETCH ACROSS THE
COASTAL WATERS TONIGHT WE HAVE RAISED A HIGH SURF ADVISORY FOR ALL
COASTAL COUNTIES TONIGHT AND SAT MORNING. SEAS WILL REACH 8-12 FT ON
THE SC WATERS...AND 7-10 FT ON THE GA COASTAL WATERS TONIGHT...WHICH
IS MORE THAN ENOUGH TO WARRANT THE HIGH SURF ADVISORY. THANK YOU TO
JAX AND ILM FOR COORDINATION IN THIS REGARD.

&&

LAKE WINDS/WINDS...AFTER COORDINATION WITH OTHER WFOS HAVE
DECIDED TO GO WITH AN UPPER END LAKE WIND ADVISORY FOR LAKE
MOULTRIE TONIGHT AND SAT. WILL CAP WINDS AT 30 KT...BUT MARINERS
SHOULD BEAR IN MIND THAT IF ANY HIGHER WINDS ARE OBSERVED WE WOULD
NEED A HIGH WIND WARNING. THIS IS CERTAINLY POSSIBLE GIVEN 30-40
KT OF GEOSTROPHIC WINDS AT 1000 MB AND FCST SOUNDINGS SHOWING 30-
40 KT BELOW 1000 FT TONIGHT. WILL CONTINUE TO CLOSELY MONITOR.

ADDITIONALLY...THESE SIMILAR CONDITIONS WILL OCCUR ALONG THE COASTAL
COUNTIES OF SOUTHEAST SOUTH CAROLINA TONIGHT. HAVE RAISED A WIND
ADVISORY FOR CHARLESTON...COASTAL COLLETON AND BEAUFORT
COUNTIES...BUT WOULD NOT AT ALL BE SURPRISED SHOULD WE NEED TO
INCREASE THE COVERAGE A LITTLE FURTHER S AND W SHOULD THE LOW LEVEL
INVERSION BREAK OR LIFT ENOUGH TO ALLOW FOR DEEPER MIXING. WILL ALSO
CONTINUE TO MONITOR.
